Entertainment Head of Marvel donates $1M to Trump and people are pissed

Donald Trump announced that Marvel Comics CEO Isaac “Ike” Perlmutter, dubbed the most powerful person in comic books, and his wife Laura Perlmutter donated over one million dollars to Trump’s “Donald Trump For Veterans” event, held as counter programming to the Fox News presidential debate last night.

A rep for Perlmutter said: "The Perlmutters are thrilled to support their friend Donald Trump in his efforts to help veterans."

As Leon noted, the money from this event is going into the Trump Foundation coffers. How have they spent their money so far? Not so much on veteran groups, as NBC reported today.

Donald Trump has vowed to donate the donations he receives tonight to the Trump Foundation to veterans groups. But a look at The Donald J. Trump Foundation’s history of giving shows that the organization has given a small percentage of its donations to veterans groups.​

Since 2010, Trump has donated just $35,000 to veterans groups, according to the foundation’s 990 forms that donated $5 million during the same time.

But they’ve been more than generous to the Clinton Foundation, as we noted earlier this month here at RedState. Trump and his foundation have donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

Um nope, all donated funds went directly to Trump's "foundation." I guess we have to take his word that some of that money will go to a veteran's charity... hopefully a more worthy one than the NSAL-style fake charity Wounded Warriors.

It might be a PAC. But I heard Trump was self-financing, which is one reason he doesn't care what some people think. Those regular politicians sure change their tune on issues when a big donation comes into a PAC they (allegedly) control. Or it could be a real charity.
